Mouse pads are an optional but very useful computer accessory. Most often, many users do not pay due attention to his choice. But it is precisely on the rug that the use of the mouse, hand comfort and speed in dynamic games to some extent depend. Experienced gamers take this accessory quite seriously, but it will be useful for ordinary users to learn more about the criteria for its selection.
Rug Material
Mouse pads are all the same at first glance. But if you go to any computer store, you can see a wide variety of assortments of this computer accessory. Depending on the material used, small and large mouse pads can be:
- Plastic - universal products that are suitable for computer games, and for office work.
- Glass - very beautiful and practical products, suitable for everyday computer work, but not recommended for gaming mice.
- Rag - the cheapest option for simple games and work. Such rugs provide the mouse with a soft glide over a rubberized smooth surface, but at high speeds significantly reduce the accuracy of the cursor.
- Gel - an ergonomic version with a special gel pad under the wrist. Such rugs are very convenient for prolonged work at the computer, because most often they are used by office workers to relieve stress on their hands. For games, such models are not used.
- Bilateral - these are universal models having a different coating on each side. Most often they are used by gamers to play in different genres with different requirements for speed and cursor response.
Sizes of rugs
The modern market for computer accessories offers a wide range of rugs of various sizes, from small to occupying the entire table. Large mouse pads are commonly used by computer game lovers, but can be convenient and simple for users. Products of medium and small sizes are practical in home use of the computer and in work. The choice of mat size, as a rule, depends on personal preference and the comfort requirements of a particular user, because there are simply no standard recommendations. The cost of similar options varies in proportion to the increase in their size.
Design
The color scheme and shape of the rug depends on the taste and personal preferences of the user. Some like the classic rectangular shape with a calm landscape image or pattern, others are looking for more extravagant and bold models to effectively design their leisure or workplace at the computer table. Mouse pads are often used for corporate gifts - you cannot buy such souvenirs in a supermarket, they are often handed out for free, because office users usually have mats with various logos and addresses.
If the type and size of the rug does not matter to you, then you can choose the simplest and cheapest option. If the difference is important and spend a lot of time at the computer - then you should not save. Choose the model that is most suitable for you, which will provide long-term and convenient use of this simple but quite important accessory.
